00:00great job by the way in celtic city it was awesome hey you know what greg when i went to game one i

00:07went into the restaurant and guess who i walked right into wick he said the same thing he actually

00:14stood up he gave me a high five gave me a hug and he said the coolest words to me in all of

00:19the years i've known wick so thank you man it touched me when he said what he said all right

00:24you got faith tonight um i got um you know i got i got some things that us as basketball

00:34fans of the celtics got you know we we just want to see a different chalkboard

00:39you know like i think um whatever we were doing prior to that um that part's not working you know

00:47we have injuries that they're not really letting us aware of you know there's something wrong with

00:52brown he's not playing above the rim pazingis is going to the room doing layups and not dunking

00:59the ball and that's never a big man's thing you're supposed to always flush it you know you got keita

01:04on the bench who can't get in the game he's got six followers to spare it's a rotation man and i i i

01:11would say this the reason why i hit wicks because i wanted to put this in the boston atmosphere i was

01:17six man of the year deserves to start tonight that's it for me put him on the court he's the pure

01:27three-point shooter let him start the game and get a feel of how to set the tone then to come off the

01:34bench to save the game and just let horford come off the bench and keep the big man rotating all the

01:42time you got 18 fouls there and use them because that's our problem they go to the basket and

01:49brunson lays it up too much ways no you can't come across the defensive line that easy that's

01:54impossible in sports you got to put them on their butt use 18 followers that was my thing yeah and

02:00mike i would say this because mike played the game and he was a very good point god and i like the p

02:05pritch not only do you start a mike but i think let him run the point for your team because now he's

02:12like and he's the truest point guy that you have that can create and still be able to get his shot

02:18off and that was my point where if you put him at the start of he has to run the point you can't

02:24just let brown bring it up and you might make the offensive game easier for jaylen because that's not

02:30that much required remember tatum or brown normally bring the rock up and then you kind of just spread

02:36everybody else off to the side let him bring the ball up and let him let him run around he's

02:42young legs let him and brunson have a little back and forth man get the garden jumping tonight let

02:47it be a little man's game tonight michael if you think that brown got injured do you think it happened

02:53during this series because when we saw tatum out against the magic brown was able to turn it on in

02:59that one he had a killer instinct so i'm hoping that we see a little bit of that tonight

03:04i don't know case when it happened but we do know he's not the same and he's given us the best he could

03:10all you got to do is look at the fourth quarter go back to monday who was on the bench at the at the

03:17key times when they were making their comeback brown was sitting right on the bench you know what i mean

03:23and that's always a tough position to be in when you know you want to do something and your body's just

03:29not allowed and we know brown if he was all the way right he would be sticking brunson that's what he

03:36enjoys he enjoys that challenge so i don't know when it did happen it doesn't feel good today because

03:41he's the mvp and look at it this way our other defensive specialist case is holiday where was he

03:49during the run on the bench so his hamstring might be a problem as well those are two key factors

03:56that watch the comebacks hitting on the off the court and that's never how you win the championship so

04:02you know me can we hype up the crowd we have to hype up the morning show y'all have to spread that

04:08energy through the city and help them understand we can't just wear green we got to go in there with a

04:14game seven attitude and say they're not leaving here winning on the parquet we are going back to 34th

04:21street and we're going to make them nervous because if they come back to the garden for game seven

04:27maybe we would have been able to put them back in the chokehold where they belong

04:31michael wiggy is so fired up here in bermuda he's not only wearing the green he's smoking it

04:42it's from the earth man it was poured here for me and you right hey listen man listen man listen

04:49the clouds are right let's put the clouds over the neck make those clouds come all the way over the

04:53next week blow it to the left blow it to the right i'll definitely do my best to make sure

05:00i i feel it but i i think and courtney has said this mike and you know i'm hoping that some of it

05:05rubs off on me she said the celtics can win tonight and they can still win this series do you do you feel

05:11that way and believe that i i do believe it i think if if we change the chalkboard what do you think

05:21kibber though is writing on his board he already knows what we're doing you have to call the olive

05:27just like in football you have to call some trick plays and you have to move some pieces that he

05:32can't chalkboard about he has to go to halftime to make those adjustments joe has to do something

05:38different has he been out you can't just say brown this is your game you know bring it up and down the

05:43court he's going to get tired and he's injured we have to do that and i agree we can we can win this

05:49series because we lost in two games has missoula been out coached in this in this series so far

05:56at times at times i don't think he's been out coached i just think he he didn't make his

06:01adjustments as fast as thibodeau did so i don't know if that's considered out coaching he's just

06:06comfortable with a six seven man rotation but he has to do an eight nine man rotation

06:12and use his files that's what they're there for if someone's tired and you have these rookies with

06:18these young legs that can really contribute the way you make the team deeper like oh eight remember

06:24we went all the way to brown and no eight we went to house and oh eight posey and oh eight it wasn't

06:30just the five sam cassell that's nine players right there we're going six or seven i i would love to

06:38see missoula do this especially at the end of games um mike and you know how difficult it is for a point

06:43guy i would blitz jalen brunson as soon as he gets over half court send two guys at him and get the

06:49ball out of his hands well it depends it depends what two you send remember you have holiday you

06:57have brown those are the two and the three those are the ones with the injuries so i understand blitz

07:03him maybe just turn your body to the left and get him to go right a little bit more and force him

07:10right as much as possible which is his offhand and see what that brings if you notice he throws the

07:16ball away sometimes you never watch the games okay in your mind do you think that the way that this

07:23series plays out and if they are able to get out of this series continue on through the playoffs it

07:28it will affect what this team looks like next year you know what another great question i don't know

07:35because i i don't really sit at the head of the organization but but i do know i'm watching the

07:41maturation of a guard i was with all the way when smart was in town and that was pritchett in my group

07:48text with my crew i kept saying let him get in the game and do his thing we see him in summer league

07:54in preseason then when the season comes he's used so i was very happy that the nba recognized his

08:00contribution as the sixth man i just think that we need to really focus on where porzingis is and

08:08get confidence in our big man and understand we do need two true point guards there's no way you can

08:15win a championship without that so maybe the answer to your question is if we do lose look at the areas

08:21we need adjustments in and it's definitely in the middle and it's definitely at the point

08:27michael bivins i am delighted that you reached out to wiggie to come on this morning you're welcome

08:31on this show anytime any day and and go celtics go south that you guys enjoy yourself thank you for

08:38having me man i will see you guys in game seven and we will celebrate okay let's do it for the city
